What Are You Doing To/With Your Car Today?
Started last night to install that Electric Fuel Pump like I once upon a time had in my race car back in the 70's...
When I was working for Ed ... he liked the Push Pull of Electric and Mechanical and it worked Very Well back then, so I'm a believer! Finished the job this morning and so far no Leaks.. I have a (hidden) toggle switch in line so I can turn it off when not needed, but now if my 65 cuda sits in the Arizona heat for weeks between uses, and the Carb bowls are dry, I can turn on the pump for a few seconds and pre-fill carb bowls and fire the old girl up without "Cranking" so much. And besides that, I have a backup if the ol`Mechanical one ever fails... when I was Young, never worried much about that stuff, but now @ 75+ I do! And the 'cuda ain't no spring chicken either!
Finally did a job that did not include machining Billet Aluminum.. LoL (though, I did modify the pump`s mounting bolts to a larger thread size like my 1970's pump had that go though the rubber isolating grommets) :)
